Incorporating Mystery and Suspense Techniques Into Any Genre—Fiction OR Memoir

Learn How to Create Tension, Pacing, and Interest in your works no matter the genre by incorporating Mystery and Suspense Elements along with elevating Scene Level Craft Elements in your writing.

Using examples from best-selling literary fiction, mysteries, fantasy, and even memoirs, you’ll learn professional techniques for weaving compelling mystery and suspense into your book, regardless of genre. In the class we will:
- Discuss how to incorporate the mystery novel structure into non-mystery genres, such as literary fiction, memoir, sci-fi, and fantasy
- Study the use of the elements of mystery in wildly different award-winning and best-selling books, such as: “The Round House” by Louise Erdrich, “Harry Potter and the Sorcerer’s Stone” by J.K. Rowling, and “Dreams from My Father” by Barack Obama
- Learn to ask questions both big and small to keep readers intrigued
- Talk about how to craft clues, red herrings, plot twists, and cliffhangers for maximum intrigue
